foobar2000 does not have automatic real-time synchronisation of file and folder structure in line with tags, ŗ la iTunes, as that seems to be what you want.

You can periodically tell it to reorganise your folders according to their tags using File Operations. As for automatic deletion of now-empty folders, I guess thatís something that will have to remain a manual task.

and how do I do this under file operations?

It's annoying changing and album name yet the song remains in the wrong folder.

That's fine then I can delete the folders manually.

But if changes are updated in Foobar and don't actually apply to the mp3 files, then this program is not good as it's made out to be.

The changes are applied to the files just fine. The tags are updated in the data. Itís just a matter of the core app not automatically renaming things. It is not advertised as doing so, with the result that your complaining about an undeserved reputation only really amounts to trolling.

no trolling. I just want a good music app to keep everything organized. iTunes does somethings better and something it does not do better.

I prefer Foobar but there are a lot of things it doesn't seem to have.

Everyone said it was super customizable and could be just like iTunes if you wanted.

Or whatever naming scheme you want. Unless I am mistaken, you havenít set up any such pattern. Try that, and then it should work to simply run that on all files that you wish to process. Of course, please test on a small copied set of files first, just to make sure it works as you want.

Check the title-formatting reference guide on out wiki for more information on the relevant syntax.

When I paste that into the File name pattern to move one song it does this.

(1) Regarding the "Artist\Album Name\Artist\Album Name" problem:The redundancy must be due to duplicate code in the "Destination folder:" and/or "File name pattern:" fields."Destination folder:" should only contain "D:\Music" (if that is the root of your music library)"File name pattern:" should complete the remainder of the desired path and file name. ("%artist%\%album%\%title%" , or whatever)

The only other possible issue I can think of is your artist and album tags both containing "Artist\Album Name".

(2) Regarding everything in the folder being moved instead of just the one song:That's what happens when...

I now direct your attention to #5 of the Terms Of Service, which can be interpreted here as meaning Ďdonít just dump all your questions in one threadí.

I donít mean that you should start a new thread for everything, but if somethingís not related in any useful way, post it separately. Thanks.
